GREATER GOOD


The Coca-Cola Company’s growth strategy is grounded in its purpose to refresh the world and make a difference. As it works toward a better shared future, its commitment to social and environmental responsibility guides its actions and drives strong brand loyalty

100% PET

 

The Coca-Cola Company knows that the convenience retail channel overindexes in immediate consumption food and beverage, so it’s critical that it not only provides sustainability solutions for its retail partners but makes its own packaging more sustainable.

• This year, we expanded our portfolio of 100% recycled plastic* 20-oz bottles for Coca-Cola Trademark products (Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Coke Zero and Coke flavors) nationwide, being the first beverage company to achieve national adoption of 100% recycled plastic* bottles for a sparkling brand across the United States.

This progress builds off a successful history of implementing 100% recycled plastic bottles (excluding cap and labels). In 2022, DASANI bottled water transitioned its 20-oz, 1-liter and 1.5-liter bottles to 100% recycled plastic (excluding caps and labels) across the U.S.

 

Lightweighting

 

• Over the past decade, we have been continuously working to reduce the weight of our bottles.

• With our latest lightweighting initiative, we have taken an even bigger step forward by reducing the weight of our small PET bottles from 21g to 18.5g.

• The innovation spans 12-oz, 16.9-oz and 20-oz bottle sizes across the sparkling portfolio, as well as Minute Maid Refreshments.
